I would love to get something a little more commuter friends, but maybe tossing some slicks on it will be the solution until I have a little more money to play with.
I feel like a bit of an idiot riding to work every day with mountain bike tires still.
Question regarding slicks on mountain bikes: is it as simple as it sounds? Just pulling the tires/tubes off the rim, and replacing them on the same rim? I have disk brakes, so I don't think I'll need any brake adjustment.

All you'll probably need is a set of
these and a set of tire levers and you're good to go. The lack of friction and noise will be noticeable immediately.
